RE| Netanyahu Vows To Annex West Bank Settlements If Re-elected On Tuesday's Presidential Election

US President Donald Trump too, has wished Prime Minister Netanyahu for his win while dressing reporters outside White House.

"Everybody said you can't have peace in Middle East with Israel and Palestinians... I think we have w a better chance with Bibi having won," Trump said.

Netanyahu h stirred up a controversy on Saturday when he said that he would annex settlements in occupied West Bank if he wins Tuesday's elections.

"I am going to apply Israeli sovereignty, but I do t distinguish between settlement blocs and isolated settlements. From my perspective, each of those settlement points is Israeli. We have responsibility [for m] as government of Israel. I don't uproot any, and I won't transfer m to sovereignty of Palestinians. I take care of m all," said Netanyahu as quoted by Times of Israel.

According to some of his officials, last month's US recognition of Golan Heights as Israel part has reportedly, h bolstered Netanyahu to furr claim West Bank. Netanyahu believes US President Donald Trump "would give him backing and legitimization to annex or extend Israeli law to all West Bank settlements or at least some of blocs," an anymous Israel official said. However, Netanyahu has me it clear to Trump that he did t intend to evacuate "a single person" from any West Bank settlements.
